Customer background: PL Company's production challenges
PL is a large-scale fruit processing company in Russia that produces and sells its own products. It focuses on the production and packaging of fruits. Their products need to be supplied to local supermarkets all year round. However, as the business scale expands, PL faces problems such as low product weight sorting efficiency, high labor costs, and insufficient sorting accuracy. It needs an automated solution to optimize the production line. In November 24, PL's purchasing manager Ivan Petrov found our company's official website and sent us a fruit weight grader.
Our professional sales staff received it carefully and communicated in detail.
Customer needs:
The main problems encountered by PL in the production process include:
● Low efficiency of manual sorting: With the gradual increase in order demand, the efficiency of manual sorting is always limited and cannot meet the demand of orders.
● Weight error affects profits: The manual weighing error value is too high, resulting in increased costs, and insufficient weight control leads to customer complaints or compliance risks.
● High labor dependence: The tight labor market in Russia has high worker costs, and it is expensive to recruit and train skilled workers.
● Difficult data management: Lack of real-time weight data records makes it difficult to optimize production processes and inventory management.
Solution:
● High-speed and high-precision sorting: fast sampling, intelligent CNC operation, accurate sorting. The weighing accuracy error is ±0.5g, ensuring that the product meets the weight standard required by the customer, with automatic rejection function: unqualified products are automatically diverted to reduce manual intervention.
● Intelligent data management: PLC control panel, simple operation, support for custom language, can store multiple sets of data. Support production traceability
Statistical analysis: Generate reports to help optimize product specifications and reduce raw material waste.
● Reduce operating costs: Accurately control weight to avoid cost losses caused by overweight, low maintenance design: modular structure, easy to clean and maintain.
Implementation effect:
After PL introduced the weight sorting machine, the production process was fully optimized, with the following specific results:
● Improved production efficiency: 24-hour continuous operation to meet peak order demand.
● Optimized sorting accuracy: the error rate was reduced to 0.3%, far lower than the 5% of manual sorting
● Cost savings: labor costs were reduced by 30%, saving about $100,000 per year
● Data management: real-time production data helps optimize inventory management and improve customer trust.
Customer feedback:
PL is very satisfied with the application of the weight sorting machine. Ivan Petrov said: "The automated equipment not only controls the weight problem of fruit sorting, but also improves the accuracy error to 0.3%. While reducing labor costs, it also takes on many large orders. It is of great help to the future development of our company." Due to this successful cooperation, PL has considered further upgrading the production line, including adding automatic packaging machines and visual inspection systems to achieve a higher level of intelligent production. We will continue to cooperate in the future.
Conclusion:
PL's successful case proves that the OrangMech intelligent weight sorting machine can not only solve the problem of production efficiency, but also save costs and improve product quality. With the development of the food industry, the demand for automation and data-based sorting is increasing day by day, and weight sorting equipment will become the preferred solution for more companies.
